What should you do during a fire?

Well a fire is made up of three things, heat, oxygen and fuel. So if there is a fire you need to get rid of one of these three and the fire will go out, this is why we use fire extinguishers because the foam covers the fire stopping oxygen from getting to it.


Do fire extinguishers use oxygen?

No. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Adding extra oxygen speeds up the reaction, making the fire burn even hotter and making it easier for the fire to spread.


Why do firefighters need oxygen?

At the place of fire, the burning things use up all the oxygen(burning is nothing but reaction with oxygen) and fill the place with Carbon Monoxide and dense fumes, so to be able to stand there and douse the fire, firefighters do need Oxygen to breathe properly.


How does fire affect air?

Part of air is made up of oxygen without which fire can't happen. Air can feed a fire; it contains oxygen.


Why fire is pointing up?

to reach the oxygen for fuel


Why do fire men use sand to put a fire out?

because it takes away the oxygen which fuels a fire.


Why would you use foam to put out a fire?

Not normal foam but carbon dioxide foam from a fire extinguisher. This special foam covers the fire and takes all the oxygen out of it, and with no oxygen, no fire!!!


What is one use for oxygen?

Oxygen is used by people as we breath it out.one of the uses of oxygen is that fire needs it to burn


Why do you use foam to put out a fire?

The foam cuts the connection of fire with air (oxygen) & thus puts out fire.


What happens you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?

When you remove fuel and oxygen from a fire, the fire will be extinguished. Fire requires fuel (such as wood or gas) and oxygen to continue burning, so removing either one will stop the combustion process.


Why is oxygen used up when a fire burns?

During a fire, oxygen is used up because it is a key element in the combustion process. The fire's heat breaks apart the oxygen molecules, allowing them to combine with other substances in the fuel, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This rapid oxidation process is what sustains the fire and consumes the available oxygen in the process.


Why do you use foam on a oil fire?

foam is used for fire suppression. what it does is it cools the fire and to coats the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, and then the fire is out.
